Nitrous or Turbo
I got a 90 LS...130xxx miles. I have spent a TON of money on this car but it is mainly in the looks. Body kit, altezzas, etc. Yes I know...you all hate "riced" out cars. But now it is time to work on the motor. And maybe take care of those tezzas 
. Now then...I just want a little conservative 50 shot, and I know I need to get 2 step colder plugs. But...do you all recommend nitrous or turbo for such small gains? Also...when not using nitrous during my daily driving and to work etc...isnt my car going to run slower on these colder plugs? Is this going to lower my idle? Please help!

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (xstalkrx)
Your car is gay, and so are your udnerbody lights. if you ever drive by someone in dallas who points and laughs at your car, that is me.
btw, go turbo even tho i can see you blowing it up in a month.

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (UberTeg)
ouch that's harsh.
how well do you take care of your car and how long has it been urs? i've seen plenty of hi mileage cars go FI and be ok, but if your car hasn't been maintained and taken care of properly then either way you could be askin to blow it up. personally i'd prefer the boost over the juice but to each his own.

Come down from your throne Uber, you aren't special. That goes for anyone else that responds so meaningless to a post where I am trying to get a little advice or information on a subject that many of you know about.

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (Pengo)
I enjoy taking care of my care, inside and out. Every weekend, since my car gets dirty quick here in the DFW area, I wash my car inside and out. Did a little engine bay cleaning earlier today. 132xxx miles and it has been mine for about 5 months now.

I answered your question and this i how u repay me? it told you to go turbo. So my post wasnt meaningless. And your car is gay, the truth hurts, get over it. There is NOTHING appealing about altezzas unelss you stupid and are attracted to shiny things. And underbody lights in your bumper is gay too, it serves no purpose other than to try to accent your riced out car, which it does nicely.
Back on topic.... go turbo because you dont have to refill it, and you get to have a real BOV, so you can sell your fake BOV and whistle tip on ebay and make some of your money back.

shhhhh...quiet...no need to rat on a car for no reason. If you don't like something on my car, why would you have posted it under this topic? If you had read the original post you would have seen that I was going to take care of the tezzas shortly. Unfortunately, you were just going off on my car for no apparent reason. Rediculous.

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (xstalkrx)
i didnt mean take care of as in wash and clean. i mean under the hood. when was the last time u had a basic tuneup? how frequently do u do oil changes? hows the air filter, fuel filter, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, etc. that's what i mean by maintenance. actual mechanical changes under the hood that will help prolong the life of your engine and keep it running well.

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (UberTeg)
Im going to pull some lights out of the junkyard as long as they are in decent condition. One thing I'm worried about is how it is going to look with the rest of my car.

No prob, I have a mechanic friend of mine does all the work on my car. He checks everything when I take it to him. Oil changes every 2-3K miles. Just checked plugs when doing compression tests. Checked filter during oil change. Everything looks cool. Premium gas...synthetic oil.

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (xstalkrx)
Yeah, the oil, right....
Uh, buddy, I think you need to pick up a few books on internal combustion engines... head/cam theory, how to build engines, one of the turbo books by Bell or MacInnes (or both), and something on NO2... come back and ask particular Q's about each setup if you still haven't made up your mind by then. It should take you a month or two, more likely six.
I'm not trying to be a jackass, but you *are* dumping high dollar premium gas into a stock low compression LS engine that was meant for 87 octane, which is probably actually costing you a minute amount of power. You don't do any of your own mechanical work. And you're on here asking other people to tell you what to buy. You're going to blow something up if you don't spend some time learning first.

Re: Nitrous or Turbo (Boosted97Lude)
If you only want 50 extra whp then you might as well go with nitrous. There is no reason to drop the money for a turbo set up if you only want minimal gains. Oh, and it is 1 step colder plugs, not two step colder. NGK BKR7Es will work.
